101 Things I Learned in Culinary School - Book Giveaway
Friday, May 21, 2010 Posted by One 2 Try
This handy book is a culinary insight to the basics of cooking, preparation and presentation of meals. As a home cook, having this knowledge makes me feel more like the inner chef I have always wanted to be. Chef Louis supplies the information in layman terms demonstrated with illustrations throughout the book. Simple points such as how to boil water to more complex ideas of the prime cuts of meat. I enjoyed learning tips from this gem of a book. 101 Things I Learned in Culinary School is a small compact size book that will easily fit in any kitchen for quick reference. The culinary tips are invaluable for any cook or chef.
You can purchase 101 Things I Learned in Culinary School from Amazon.
